The Reflection of Shadows: Is It Worth It? Let Me Work It

Is It Worth It? Let Me Work It

Calendars and planning meetings,
Fail to a verbal beating.
Numbers, paper, data sequence-
Everything's about the distance.
About the goal, the destination,
Leaping without hesitation.
Mail, phone calls, conversations;
Deadlines coming, pulses racing.
Bosses, supervisors, chiefs
Telling you to take the leap.
Code of ethics violations,
Shaky, phony explanations.
All the work and all the sweat-
Nothing real to show for it.
Early mornings, drawn out days.
Late nights when your eyes are glazed.
Last decisions, one last minute-
Always pushing to the limit.
Order supplies, clean the office,
Print reports on all the losses.
More to do and less to say,
I think I'll call in sick today.

Happy Friday, friends! Don't work- enjoy your weekend!
